Tequila Plum Festival

Mundo Cuervo

On May 25th and 26th, a meeting will be held between plum producers of the region, the objective is to show the product to those who visit our town and to spread culture to children and young people of our community.
There are more than 10,000 plum trees and other fruits in the orchards of the ravine. In the historical archive of Guadalajara, documents have been located that date back to 1738, where the production of the Tequila plum and its importance in the income of the families are already mentioned.

If you are a plum producer and wish to participate in the meeting with your product, please register free of charge at Calle Ramón Corona #112 esq. Zaragoza. For more information, call 74.219.19 and 74.219.20 with Margarita Arana or Ana Laura Carrillo.
